First of all, what impresses me the most, and what impresses me most intuitively, is his oil painting-like picture. Every frame is meticulously crafted, and every ray of sunlight is just right. The sense of seclusion and coldness revealed by the medieval-style stone castle architecture can bring me into the plot even more. The picture outside the castle is also in the autumn season, there is no extra decoration, and desolation is the main tone.
The costumes in the play are really attentive. The costumes of the king and queen are extremely luxurious. The wedding scene at the beginning and the theater scene at the back can be said to be a visual feast.
Then there is the almost neurotic acting of the protagonist. At the time, it was not obvious that he was the director of Braveheart. Later, there was a sense of certainty. In fact, it's not just the protagonist, the queen is even more impressive. Although I feel that every actor here is a little too hard, they do not violate the harmony at all. I have seen the original work, and I am mentally prepared for the way Shakespeare expresses emotions. It can also digest obscure lines, and everything is just right.
Compared with Hamlet, Ophelia's entry and end are actually more like the epitome of this work. Just like the pantomime prelude in Hamlet's stage play, Ophelia's ending also heralds the direction of the whole work. .
In the end, in order to distinguish the plot from the stage play, the director made a slight change at the beginning, making the whole story into a movie style, all of which are just right.
